1.4 Integrate PHE into TNC-CTC Global Learning Center
New Activity leader: Joan Castro
Activity Start July 2009 Activity End May 2009
RATIONALE FOR ACTIVITY
During Year 1, the BALANCED Project staff held preliminary discussions with The Nature Conservancy program manager for the Coral Triangle Initiative Dr. Alan White about areas of
mutual collaboration in Asia. TNC operates the Coral Triangle Center—a unique global learning center based in Bali, Indonesia. The goal of the TNC-CTC is to transfer knowledge on planning
and management of MPAs as an effective management tool for marine biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of marine resources. Furthermore, the training program builds the capacity of
conservation practitioners in effective natural resources planning, management and evaluation of MPAs in Indonesia and beyond.

The center has trained over 700 individuals from CTI countries including personnel from national, provincial and local government agencies, international and domestic NGOs;
community leaders; fisher community members; conservation practitioners; law enforcement agencies; school teachers; and others.
The BALANCED PHE Technical Lead and the Project’s
senior PHE consultant, Leona D’Agnes, explored with TNC the possibility to incorporate PHE into selected TNC-CTC’s training programs andor curricula, particularly the Conservation
Action Planning CAP. For example, BALANCED could adopt and conduct the PHE Program Design curriculum developed in 2007 by CDM to government and non-government participants
from the CTI countries. This would enable BALANCED to simultaneously reach a number of leaders and practitioners from different CTI countries with standardized information on how to
integrate PHE into coastalmarine conservation agendas and the benefits that can accrue from integration.
ACTIVITY SUMMARY
During Year 2, the BALANCED Project will continue conversations with TNC to explore the possibility of incorporating PHE into one or more of the TNC-CTC Global Learning Center
curricula. If affirmative, BALANCED will conduct the following activities: Specific activities will include:
• Adapt the PHE Program Design curriculum to be incorporated into the selected TNC-
CTC syllabus •
Train TNC-CTC trainers on the PHE curriculum and how to administer an evaluation of the module and evaluation results to fine tune the training program
• Monitor remotely via email outputs of the PHE related training activities of TNC-CTC
i.e., numbers of individuals trained by institutional type, results of test scores, etc.

IR 2: PHE knowledge and tools developed, organized, synthesized and shared
Total Year 2 IR 2 Activities: 438,265
2.1 Identify, document, and synthesize knowledge 2.2 Organize existing and new knowledge for PHE website
2.3 Share knowledge within the PHE and broader community
The knowledge management KM element IR2 of the BALANCED Project lies at the nexus of IR1 Capacity built for integrated PHE implementation and IR3 Results-oriented PHE field
activities implemented in areas of high biodiversity. It draws out the “best of” information and experience generated as part of the activities of those IRs, synthesizes it, and disseminates it to
trainers, training participants, PHE implementers in the field, the larger PHE community of practice and donors. As such, IR2 serves as an “integrating” arm of the project.
Social networking analysis will continue at a modest level during Year 2—building on information gathered in Year 1 that identified PHE players around the world and their
connections to each other. As Year 2 capacity building and field activities progress, names of new PHE players as well as additional information on existing players will emerge. This
information, when entered into the current social network analysis database, will expand and add accuracy to the network map. The resulting information will be useful as the Project implements
elements of its communications strategy. The BALANCED KM team will hold an intensive one-week working session in July to develop
a taxonomy that identifies the terms and concepts most commonly used by the PHE community to communicate about the PHE approach. This work was begun in Year 1, but without the
advantage of focused time from a PHE expert as an informant to the task. In the July session, Janet Edmond will serve as that PHE expert and work hand-in-hand with the CRC KM team to
finalize the PHE taxonomy and concept map. This work will inform the categories that are selected for organizing information on the new PHE website.
In Year 2, the PHE website currently hosted on the Environmental Health EH site will be transferred to the Knowledge for Health K4H site that is under development and to be hosted
by John Hopkins University JHU. The BALANCED KM team will continue to work with the JHU team to ensure the information and design of the PHE site is compatible with the tools,
architecture and protocols of the K4H site. The BALANCED Project will also communicate to the PHE community the criteria for what information gets uploaded to the site and the protocols
for uploads. It will ensure that all documents to be transferred from the existing to the new site include the required meta-data prior to upload. Lastly, we will announce the launch of the new
PHE site and encourage contributions that meet the criteria. The groundwork was laid in Year 1 for the operations research on the benefits of the PHE
approach that will begin in earnest in Year 2. This includes visits to two field sites where PHE is underway to collect qualitative and quantitative information that will help document the benefits
that accrue to PHE projects. The BALANCED Project will also contribute to the final analysis of findings from previous operations research on the IPOPCORM project with the goal of having
that research published in 20092010 in a peer-reviewed journal.

The BALANCED Communications Strategy developed in Year 1 will be implemented in Year 2. Meanwhile the KM Advisory Committee, established in Year 1 of the Project, will come
together for the first time in September 2009 to provide expert advice and input on the strategic direction of the Project’s major KM elements.
